A B Grade Horror: Schlock, schlock

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2006)

The film traces the lives of a few uninfected "survivors" of a pandemic, 28 days after it has "run its course".
The acting is generally good, although there are more one-dimensional characters (Eccleton) than three. I must admit I got a little needled by the hysteria, and the loudness: horror is at its best when it is under-, rather than over-, stated. And unfortunately there is nothing subtle about this film; it is grossly over-the-top at every turn.
This film is an assault on one's tolerance, yet the DVD extras show that the writers and director have thought about their topic.
With Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris(both good). However, they cannot make this film more than a 'B'-Grade movie it is. Well-intentioned, but missing its mark.
